Patience and Money. You will likely have to spend a lot of both.

Seriously, if you want to do the engine yourself, you need to find some local racers and or a machine shop that has experience with stocker engines. Making power that passes tech takes a lot of trial and error. There is not really one magic thing. Everything has to be as good as it can be. Of course, start by picking a viable combo.

If you pick a V6 combo vs a 305 for example, they want different things.

I would say to research the rule book and the classification guides. See what classes the combos fit in. Order stats from Nitro Joe and see how others in those classes run.

You probably don't know enough about it to even ask the right questions yet. The more base understanding you have the better. ( before you choose).

If there are local association races or you have local class racers near you, get to know them. Have them show you their cars. I think that will help get you started.
